Matt Gonzalez

This article is in dire need of peer review. One user seems unclear on the NPOV philosophy, and reverts most attempts to make the article more informative and more neutral. The writing could also be vastly improved and the chronology straightened out and clarified. Also, the "Works cited" section is very unusual for Wikipedia and difficult to navigate. Thoughts about that? Any help is most appreciated! Moncrief 16:32, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

• Generally on Wikipedia, I find that the "Works cited" section is named "References", and that external links in the references work like: Last, First. [the link] etc., with the hyperlink only linking the article name itself. The inline external links should be converted to WP:FOOTNOTEs (if you would like, I can quickly convert them to footnotes), and be given WP:CITE information. Thanks, AndyZ _t 19:30, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

• On the Discussion Page at this article is an alternative Matt Gonzalez article that I believe is very good and could take the place of the current article. I would like your thoughts on replacing the current article with the alternative article on the Discussion Page. The current article is a real mess and replacing it with the alternative article would be a good start in fixing the problem. Griot 05:10, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

• I'm disappointed that no one came over to help us out at this article. We can really use your help! Please come and help if you can. Moncrief 15:02, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

There's lots to say. According to the WP:PR instructions, content and POV disputes are handled by WP:RFC. From an editing standpoint, right off the top the intro states "he put a familiar face on the Green Party." What does that mean? Also, there's a typo "he believe...machine politics."

Also, agree with converting the references per WP:CITE. That long list of external links would be much clearer as footnotes. Kaisershatner 15:33, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
